BAERD is a seven-piece progressive folk band that comes from the heart of Boston. As musicians raised in the legacy of Berklee College of Music, their primary purpose as BAERD is to impact their audience through genre-defying progressive folk, fusing together traces of jazz, Americana, classical, R&B, and rhythms influenced by world music. BAERD's lyricism and instrumental precision finds its inspiration from greats like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, the Punch Brothers, and Radiohead.
